Eli is no longer in the shadow of older brother Peyton. This summer Eli Manning signed a contract to become the NFL’s highest-paid player, and it’s well deserved. The Giants quarterback is one of the game’s best young pivots, and with four straight seasons of at least 20 touchdown passes, should break 100 for his career in 2009. A Pro Bowler, Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP, Eli has shown he can play -- and succeed -- in the pressure cooker of New York City. Peyton, meanwhile, can be considered one of the best QBs of all time. He’s thrown more than 330 career touchdowns and set the single-season record with 49 scores in 2004. He too is a Pro Bowler, Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP, but has three things Eli would like -- a trio of NFL MVP awards.
